In a welcome move for citizens, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a significant reduction in the passport application fee. The new, standardized cost has been set at GHS 350.
This revised fee represents a substantial 30% decrease from the previous rate, making the essential travel document more accessible to Ghanaians. The reduction is a direct response to public feedback and aims to ease the financial burden on applicants.
The new pricing structure will officially take effect on Thursday, November 13, 2025. All applications submitted on or after this date will benefit from the reduced fee.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to prepare their necessary documents and await further procedural updates from the Passport Office as the effective date approaches. This policy change is expected to streamline access to passport services and is being celebrated as a positive step forward for the public.
